And it's not like anyone who's aggressively not asking questions about the (international!) anti-trans lobby has an excuse to not know about other right-wing movements (the Tea Party in the US, for example) that were also treated as surprise! grassroots! movements! when they extremely were not.

My family may have watched the Lonesome Dove miniseries on VHS 100 times when I was growing up. RIP Gus.

What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss? Anton Chigurh here for FanDuel,

our country's political window shifting as far right as it has is due entirely to a repeated process of Republicans doing things they aren't allowed to do and Democrats responding not with sanctions but a repeated demand that Republicans knock it off, already. it's how Roe v Wade got overturned!

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

222 Days until TCU vs UNC in Dublin 🍀🐸🐏🍀

Spent some time in the east end of Louisville over the last few days and all the IU grads have broken out the sweatshirts, flags, window decals. They’ve been here the whole time, lying in wait.

Indiana was the worst team in college football for 150 years and then they let you start paying players and they immediately became No. 1 and the only conclusion one can draw is they were the only ones who didn’t realize you could pay players under the table for the first 150 years.

Louisville DSA endorses Andrea Parr for Metro Council D9! She will stand with working-class families by prioritizing people over profits with affordable housing, public grocery stores, and democratizing our Metro government budget. Donate & volunteer: andreaparr.com

We need your help! LDSA is partnering with @unduemeddebt to erase $2M in medical debt for Jefferson Co. residents for just $11K. In our county, 22% of residents are burdened with medical debt.

I'm in New Orleans for a conference of socialist elected officials, staffers and DSA chapter representatives so I'm late in posting this video I recorded Friday before my flight about the vote on the mask ordinance Thursday night, but it's too important a message to not share.

last year indiana was Interesting. this year they play that football ass football

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

This app is not really a viable alternative to Twitter, at least partially because its baked in liberalism makes it almost useless for the people who’d need it the most.

You could say I enjoy fine dining (scarfing down two hot dogs and a baja blast in a gas station parking lot)

can’t wait for the new Taylor Swift album “500 Internal Service Error”

Some people leave their hearts in San Francisco but I left several days of dead skin and hair in Chicago

Country anticommunists inevitably cite as the reason communism is bad now significantly farther ahead on trans rights than most western capitalist 'democracies'

I’m gonna be in Chicago a week before so I probably can’t go two weekends in a row…but…

As a person of hot dog eating experience, it’s a nice day to have lunch in the park

ICYMI… LDSA comrade 🌹 Robert LeVertis Bell is running to represent District 43 in the Kentucky State House in 2026! His campaign is about building the power working people need to turn Kentucky around—not just for one election, but for the long haul.

At least somebody out there still gets it!

Yeah

Amazing to see left-leaning NYT staff say there’s no point going to an “equally compromised” outlet. They really really don’t get it. The NYT is the head of the beast, always has been in some ways. Along with The Atlantic, no non-conservative outlet more responsible for the encroaching horror.

So excited for this event with @dsa-louisville.bsky.social tonight!

Largest trans survey ever finds the top reason transgender people stop transitioning is transphobia “In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community,” the survey found.

This student has greater moral clarity than all the rich consultants telling Dems to sacrifice trans people for electoral gains.

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

biden did nothing for us. the party's presidential candidate refused to say "trans." at least 4 senate candidates ran anti-trans video ads. the gov of *CA* runs an anti-trans podcast. *MA* dems won't vote down an athlete ban. if you refuse to understand what's happening we won't be able to stop it.

the democratic party has done zero internal work on trans rights despite being 4yrs into this. y'all are surely tired of hearing it from me so here's a *massachusetts* state rep admitting his caucus can't vote down an athlete ban and that he'd flip too if polling told him to.

We’re back! Sort of—this is an episode we recorded in January and left in our drafts. Enjoy our 4th episode, Dueling Jesuses, and hopefully we’ll have something new soon. Listen here: open.spotify.com/show/5pk0pYA...

New podcast episode!

Kevin Harlan: "Tonight, the NBA on TNT is brought to you by the new crispy tenders at CarMax. What? Wait a minute, hold on. Are they serving tenders with cars? We just had the marriage of two different sponsors and it was UGLY." 😂

There were a couple years where it was understood on the left that the dominant forces in the US (Wall Street, the police, the military industrial complex, real estate developers & landlords, health insurance & fossil fuel companies) were bad and needed to be dismantled. That was nice.

Cringe is fine. Maybe Marxism is cringe; why the fuck should I care? But honestly I don’t know what statements like this mean; what precisely are socialists uncomfortable with that we should get comfortable with. Do you mean funny signs or different politics?

I think socialists should organize mass mobilizations that advance our politics, organize people to join DSA, build the strength of labor unions, and construct mass organizations for liberatory social movements. This is an agenda to build a workers’ party. It is an agenda for revolution.

there are trans working class people dude

We see you. We support you. We stand with you. Today and every day. ✊🏳️‍⚧️ #transdayofvisibility

The policy goals of the trans rights movement are the same today as they were 10 years ago (to be treated as equal members of our genders in all aspects of life: bathrooms, education, employment, prisons, IDs, and medical access)

Me, smirking at the bear devouring my flesh: So you actually can’t do that it’s illegal. Focus on economics

At the rate that corporate America is throwing queer people under the bus, we might actually get Pride Month back from The Brands this year. Not much of a silver lining but it’s something I guess.

If the Republicans want me dead and the Democrats just wish I didn’t exist, then sure there’s a difference but it doesn’t mean I should be okay with that second one.
